And like so many of his ideas, this one sounds crazy enough to work… I’m sitting at a bar on Jetty Square eavesdropping on a conversation that could either be about sharks or a...
Part Big Daddy Kane, part Rembrandt van Rijn, Mustafa Maluka is taking the international art scene by storm with a contemporary brand of portraiture as culturally and stylistically complex as the world we live in.
